I would like to thank Dr. Chon A. Noriega, staff and students at the UCLA Chicano Research Center for the recognition. It is truly an honor coming from an institution that has educated me on the past and present of Chicanos and Mexican-Americans.

CHICANO ART MOVEMENT attends: Sergio Hernandez “Good Sport” @ AS ISSUED Art+Design Bookstore
(close up) “Remio, Thor, Oldboy, Boar, Regis, Big Ugly, Chava” 24” x 35.5” Mixed Media on Canvas
CAM:
Last week surfin’ the inter webs reading one of my favorite blogs, L.A. TACO I came upon the coverage they posted of the opening reception for Sergio Hernandez’s, Good Sport exhibition at AS ISSUED Art+Design Bookstore in Costa Mesa, C.A. The opening reception took place May 11th 2013, I attended the show a few days later. I had been aware of SURGE’s work for some time now but I had not been able to view it in person. The exhibition at AS ISSUED was the opportune time to take a trip to the city of Costa Mesa and view Mr. Hernandez’s art en vivo.
Drawings on Book Covers 8” x 10.5” each
Researching Sergio, I learned he is a graffiti, painter and tattoo artist native to San Diego, California with deep roots in the city of Tijuana, Mexico. I was also informed when at the exhibit SURGE has an association with street duo DABS MYLA. After learning about the DABS MYLA connection, I could picture how well there work would meld together with their use of quirky caricatures and the dynamic use of coloration in their street pieces. 
“Books” 5.5” x 8.5” Marker on Paper
The AS ISSUED space is located at The LAB, which is O.C.’s renowned urban “anti-mall”. This had not been my first trip to The LAB, but it had been years since I last visited the location. So many that the AS ISSUED space used to be a Tower Records music store I visited in my good ‘ol D.J. days. It was interesting to see how the topography of the shops at The Lab had morphed since my last visit.
“Good Sport” acrylic on paper 20.5”x26.5”
Entering the Art+Design Bookstore, the first and my favorite piece I saw was Sergio’s titled piece for the exhibition “Good Sport”, in which the artist depicts a stout Mayan warrior with a skull in one hand and a Macuahuitl in the other. After fully basking in the “Good Sport” piece, my attention then turned to Sergio’s collaboration with tattoo artist Tyler James Densley titled “Girl & Skull”, a whimsical vintage tattoo flash inspired artwork. SURGE’s smaller marker and pencil works on paper were also a very entertaining pieces. In the pencil on book page works Sergio depicted images of history, pop culture and tattoo art.

Sergio Hernandez’s artwork fit perfectly at the AS ISSUED Art+Design Bookstore, with many of SURGE’s literature theme pieces being exhibited. From depictions of books as characters to actual drawings on book pages.
Exhibition runs until until June 9th

CHICANO ART MOVEMENT attends: Divested Interest: Exchange Dialogues with Cog•nate Collective & Ramiro Gomez - opening reception @ GCAC
Grand Central Art Center- Santa Ana Art Walk, May 2013
CAM:
On May 4th, 2013 we attended the monthly Santa Ana Art Walk for the opening reception to Divested Interest: Exchange Dialogues with Cog•nate Collective & Ramiro Gomez at the Grand Central Art Center gallery. I was excited to view Mr. Gomez’s artworks exhibited in a gallery setting, as he predominately installs his works in the public urban space.
Ramiro’s appropriations on magazine pages
The exhibit consisted of Ramiro’s appropriations on magazine pages, with a few art photography pieces taken by his partner who documented the artist installations in the streets. Ramiro also had his “Los Olvidados” cardboard piece that was originally erected in Tucson, AZ July, 2012 placed in the gallery.

Outside, what lured the art goers into the CSUF governed exhibition space were six cardboard street pieces by the Mexican-American artist. Which instantly caught my attention as I walked towards the GCAC.

Looks as the art masses were pleased with the Divested Interest: Exchange Dialogues with Cog•nate Collective & Ramiro Gomez exhibition. By the end of the night many of Ramiro’s appropriations on magazine pages had been acquired by collectors. Good show Mr. Gomez.

Exhibition runs until Sunday, July 14, 2013 with a Closing Reception (TBD)
